Im looking to get a set of 37 x 13.50 x 17 for my jeep and am having a hard time deciding which to choose. Any recomendations would be greatly appreciated.

BFG KM2
Toyo open country mt
mickey thompson baja claw
??pitbull rocker ?? not sure if these are out yet.


THanks

 

It all depends on what driving you will do. All are great tires. The BFG is the most well rounded. Toyos are great but heavy. Baja claws are nice for looks and rocks. And pitbull rockers are definitely hardcore.

I would go with BFG. But again... it all depends on your driving goals. Let us know.

I originally wanted BFG, but went with Duratracs due to the AT design and I do NOT regret it at all. Might want to look into Dick Cepek FCII if you want an AT in 37s. Maybe even Parnelli Jones.

 

It would be helpful if you provide more input on your expectations and driving habits.

If balanced on and off road performance is important, I would select one of the first two.

 

im interested to see the road manners of the pit bull radials.....thats why i voted for them...im running copper stt's 37's on 17s and they were cheaper then the toyos and have treated me excellent so far

 

Does the KM2's come in 13.5

 

I have 35 KM2's love them....

 

Nope they are a 12.5" for the 17" wheel and the height isn't a true 37" either. I love my km2 35" tires but am seriously considering the Toyo Open Country (almost everyone here is running them) or the Goodyear Kevlar which isn't a 13.5 either but a nice looking, and from what I hear, good tire.

 

Maxxis Creepy Crawlers

 

Unless things have changed (I have not checked) the Pitbull Rockers only come in a bias ply. Which means they will ride like squares on the HWY. Just an FYI.

And if you are looking at tires like that, I say go with Irok's.

Oh, and the Maxxis Creepy Crawlers are amazing tires, but they cost a fortune.

 

I just installed the Toyo's MT....they are 37x13.5x17 and are huge tires after the 35'sx12.5....Just finished a 9hr hwy drive on the weekend, and I dont have any complaints.....a great all around tire.....and did I mention they are 10ply??...my fuel mileage on the hwy drive was better compared to my 35's on the same trip....I got 14 to 14.5 L per 100 kms on the gauge.....due to bigger size, my rpms went down a bit, thus better mileage....
